UK English word completion

[perfectly4med]

Hi all,

How do I get the suggested words resulting from letter recognizer to come up in UK English rather than US English spelling?

If you set the locale right, it should pick it up..

Do you mean Regional Settings? I tried that for English UK and still got "color" not "colour".

[Duke_Box]

Haha, actually i never understood the difference.. your colo(u)r example was the first time anyone cleared it a bit out for me..

You say Tomato....

... we say it correctly ;)

I would think that would work. I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket Loox N560 with the UK English version of WM5 installed. Upon first use, I set the clock to the Eastern Time Zone, and went into the regional settings and "United States" was already selected for me. "Organization" and "color" were as I come to expect it to be spelled.

Maybe the US English spelling was embedded into the ROM of a UK English device but maybe the UK English is not embedded into a US English device.

On a pre-WM5 device, you will only need to read http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?p=829474 and do what I've said there (that is, extract the dictprob.dat and statdict.dat files from a UK ROM image and shadow the old files with them.)

I haven't tested this under WM5 but I'm afraid it won't work (it's not as easy to shadow \Windows files in WM5 than under pre-WM5)

Not quite, i say tomaat.

Soz - should have said I'm under WM5 on a Dell Axim x51v...

Regional settings are set to UK, but dictionary isn't...

And as for the tomato debate... how about oregano?

Then, your only choice is flashing the device with the UK ROM.

It won't work - the built-in dictionary is one-country only (as has also been pointed out in my article) - that is, it's not possible to make it return UK English spelling.

Is there not a program that can replace the default dictionary and predictive text ?

[Menneisyys]

There is. Actually, I've even written an article on all the alternate solutions offering this capability - please read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives...textentry.aspx

Thanks Menneisys.

This may be true for the X51v rom....while I can't prove otherwise beyond my own experience but I think some other devices may work differently.
